Has a tremendous shot, plus all-round ability, including excellent playmaking skills plus the qualities of a true finisher. His hockey sense is well above-average, too. Owns a very projectable frame for an NHL center. Needs to fill out his frame in order to maximize production at the highest level. Also, he could stand to play with a little more abrasiveness for best results in the NHL. Needs to still prove he can be 'the go-to player' on his team.
